    But it's also...metaphysically cold. As if there were a point where magic, or astral matter, or ideas liquify, then freeze, then become condensate...because they are acted upon by the idea of coldness.

    It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.

    Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.

    The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
